Welcome to Verizon's 'destination store'

Verizon Wireless is hoping to offer a new retail strategy, and on Tuesday showed off a new "destination store" in the Mall of America in Minnesota. The carrier is going for a grander, brighter feel, with more white than red and lots of lights and space.

A miniature golf set up to demonstrate the store's "Fun Zone." It's a demonstration of how robotic sphere balls can be controlled over a the Minnesota-inspired course -- complete with Paul Bunyan and his blue ox.
